+
+_Hi, there! Tobi here, Tech Writer at Humanitec and Score contributor._
+
+🎉 Today, Score is officially announcing the new [Score Examples Hub](https://docs.score.dev/examples/)! 🎉
+
+One of the feedbacks we have been capturing is to show more concrete examples and use cases with Score.
+
+When we celebrated the [first anniversary of Score as CNCF Sandbox](https://score.dev/blog/celebrating-1-year-as-cncf-sandbox/) a couple of months ago, we provided a sneak peek about this Score Examples Hub. Since then, we have been adding more examples of Score files, resource provisioners and patch templates.

+
+## Score specification and resources examples
+
+Find Score files examples illustrating how to use the Score specification as well as how to use the resources provisioners with either [`score-compose`](https://docs.score.dev/docs/score-implementation/score-compose/) or [`score-k8s`](https://docs.score.dev/docs/score-implementation/score-k8s/):
+

+
+As an example, that's how in there you will be able to find how you can [use a local LLM model with Score and `score-compose`](https://docs.score.dev/examples/score/resources/community-provisioners/llm-model/):
+
+`score.yaml`:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: score.dev/v1b1
+metadata:
+  name: my-workload
+containers:
+  my-container:
+    image: busybox
+    command: ["/bin/sh"]
+    args: ["-c", "while true; do echo $LLM_BASE_URL; sleep 5; done"]
+    variables:
+      LLM_MODEL_NAME: "${resources.model.model}"
+      LLM_BASE_URL: "${resources.model.url}"
+resources:
+  model:
+    type: llm-model
+    params:
+      model: ai/smollm2:135M-Q4_0
+```
+
+Run:
+```bash
+score-compose init \
+    --provisioners https://raw.githubusercontent.com/score-spec/community-provisioners/refs/heads/main/llm-model/score-compose/10-dmr-llm-model-via-service-provider.provisioners.yaml
+
+score-compose generate score.yaml -o compose.yaml
+
+docker compose up -d --wait
+```
+
+In the `score.yaml` file, the Developer can request a `llm-model` resource to use it in their app by injecting the corresponding `url` generated when this Score file will be deployed. By using `score-compose init --provisioners`, the actual implementation of the `llm-model` resource is downloaded locally (you can [look at its definition here](https://docs.score.dev/examples/resource-provisioners/community/llm-model/score-compose/template/dmr-llm-model-via-service-provider/), Docker Model Runner is used). Then, with `score-compose generate`, both the `my-container` and the `llm-model` services are generated into a `compose.yaml` file. Finally, `docker compose up` will deploy them. 
+
+## Score resources provisioners examples
+
+Find examples of resources provisioners with either [`score-compose`](https://docs.score.dev/examples/resource-provisioners?implementation=score-compose) or [`score-k8s`](https://docs.score.dev/examples/resource-provisioners?implementation=score-k8s):
+
+![Screenshot of the Score Examples Hub for Resources Provisioners](score-examples-hub-provisioners.png)
+
+## Score patch templates examples
+
+Find examples of patch templates with either [`score-compose`](https://docs.score.dev/examples/patch-templates?implementation=score-compose) or [`score-k8s`](https://docs.score.dev/examples/patch-templates?implementation=score-k8s):
+
+![Screenshot of the Score Examples Hub for Patch Templates](score-examples-hub-patchers.png)
+
+## More advanced examples
+
+Find more advanced examples illustrating how to deploy a NodeJS application talking to a PostgreSQL database, how to deploy Backstage and Nginx, how to use Dapr with your workloads, etc. with either `score-compose` or `score-k8s`:
